    2015 Intel: Bigger is not better.

    2018 Intel: wait no sometimes bigger is better

    2021 Intel: cutting own hair and sobbing what mean bigger? What mean better?

    2023 Intel: foaming at the mouth HERE. BIGGER. YOU TAKE BIGGER. YOU LIKE BIGGER.

      I love my 11700K and Z590 system. Has been the most rock solid PC I’ve ever owned (besides the crappy Intel network cards that need a 2 year old driver to work properly) and I’ve literally had only 2 Windows crashes since I built the system in 2019 (playing The Forest in early access, but was GPU related).

        Never upgrade to odd number gen. Always wait for the even number

        I upgraded due to cost and it met my needs at a time when COVID and inflation was affecting technology prices. Got tired of running an 95-6600k. Quad-core with 4 threads.

      Like, 1/10th of that upgrade even.

      At least the iPhone got a 120Hz screen, always on display and massive CPU/GPU improvements.
